Viorel is 12 years old and he lives with his grandfather in a village near the Danube River. He doesn’t know anything about his parents, but the thought that his mother might return one day makes his days happier, while he helps his grandfather restore the figurines of an old broken merry-go-round that the old man wants to fix.
Mirko is the son of the local police officer in the village on the Serbian side of the Danube. Under the threat of an aggressive and violent father who beats him, Mirko fills his days playing on the computer in his father’s office. His favorite game is one with Second World War soldiers. His game partner is in fact Viorel, to whom he develops a relationship within the game.
The two children have a remote controlled small boat which they use to send each over various objects. When Viorel finds a gun in his grandfather’s attic. The two children’s lives change.
Two parallel lives, seen in the mirror, each wishing for something that the other boy has, in a world that has erased the boundaries between good and evil and blended childhood and maturity into one eternal age.
